Swung by to TRU about 20 minutes ago on my way to work. I snagged .Hack//Gu and Attelier Iris 2 for trade fodder. I was browsing thru their DS games hoping to spot a Castlevania DS that might have been lost somewhere in the store and put back when i found a copy of Monopoly / Boggle / Yahtzee / Battleship for the DS.
Hardly believing my luck i took it up to check price expecting it to be $25-35 or more when it rang up at $7.50!!
Suffice to say I quickly bought it. A quick search of ebay shows only 1 listing and the one listed isn't even sealed

Think i'll be listing it on Saturday and starting it at $30.

They went out of print, and it probably has no chance of going back into print. I was lucky enough to find a used copy after several months of searching.

my pal and i picked this up at our nearest TRU for this price a few months back. we bought the last two. about a week later, my brother expressed an interest in it, and we called and drove all over trying to find more, to no avail. who knew it would become so scarce? we just wanted to play Monopoly.

I'd love a copy to play too but for the price its selling for i'd rather have the money. I'll post the ebay link here saturday afternoon when I list it.
If an opened one sold for $81 mine better hit at least $60

FYI I've already gotten a request to sell it as a BIN from someone else :-) Lol fastest question i've ever gotten on an item I listed
Good luck on it! It's actually a pretty fun game. Only complaint is in monopoly the computer players do nothing but attempt lowball trades with you slowing down the gameplay.

Damn. I had one and sold it a while back for $22. Oh well. I see these often so I will pick them up for ebay.
How the fuck did such shitty regular board games that usually are worth less then a few bucks on any other console, get to be worth so much on the DS?
I got one for my gf and me when it was 14.99...I dont play it that much and if she doesnt either Ill jack it and sell em both lol.
